| Blue Smoke on 209,000 mile engine |
|
I am trying to save my beloved Disco 3 54 reg TDv6, it has 209,000.00 miles and blowing out blue smoke.
Had a new intercooler installed, new intercooler pipes in the last few months and a new turbo last year, also just had the air flow sensor replaced but still puffing out blue smoke and smells strange.
I was told today by the mechanic that it will be an engine out to replace internals, any ideas what needs to be replaced inside the engine.
Is it too far gone to save, it has been a great vehicle until recently with lots spent on it and despite doing an oil service every year for the past 13 years?

If it’s black smoke, could be injectors. Check the offset values.
Is it using oil ?
Could be valve stem seals in the head. Usually shows a problem first thing in the morning when engine stood
Otherwise piston rings and or bore ware. Bit rare these days if you have used synthetic oil
